techrecoveryJust got off the phone with a guy who refused to do anything I said. When I basically repremanded him for not listening.
He responded with explatives (poorly sued, i might add) "Well, you're a girl, what the hell are you doing on the phone for tech support anyways!"
My responce was "MY computer works just fine. MY dsl moden is working jsut fine because I wasn't foolish and went and changed a bunch of settings randomly. YOU are the one witht he problem. I can hang up this phone and surff the Internet, YOU can't. So are you goign to listen to me, or hang up and return to the 50s?"
He hung up.
The good thing is, he's not on my phone anymore and his verbal abuse is documented int eh case notes.
The bad thing is, this is the second time I've had to say something like this in 3 months.
Pity some men can't get their heads out of their asses.
